Hazard Switch rebuild

Hallo! My computer have virus, so I no able to zdriver.com for a while, I just get brakes for vehicle, and now before I put dash in, I want hazard switch work again, can ples assist in how rebuild hazard switch, or it just need clean, cause I have 6-prong, and extra switch I have are 4/5-prong methink, so they no even compatible. I think re-solder help? When I have switch on, and bent/stretch wires a bit, lights come on fine, but when I put it at position it would be on dash, light not work.

Plese help! I no want to put dash on with switch problem!

This are only problem I have left!

I was stupid when I re-did mine and didn't take pics. I took mine apart and cleaned off all of the corrosion and put it back together. ( It didn't need solder) Oh, and there is a spring loaded part, don't loose that!!

I can only imagine what it's really like in there, I won't have time to get around to it today, but I assume it's just corrosion of years, 30 is a big number for cars, I expected resistance when I bought her

Do you remember if there was a little ball on top of the spring?

Yep, got it.

Well, no more corrosion, and my hazards come on every time now, no matter what, but I have no turn signals =(

I'll test (Later) with spare switches that I have, probably around 3am, when it goes below 90F

I don't suppose you took pictures this time? I'm also having issues with hazards and turn signals. I can usually get one or the other to work.

That's all there is, and corrosion can build up on the flat plates and cause an issue with connections

My brother has a G19, it didn't feel very good to me. I'm not sure what it is about Glock, I just don't really like about them none too much

Well, I cleaned it out and now the hazards work like a charm. Unfortunately, the turn signals just won't work. Tried cleaning the connections there too, but no luck.
